Eduard Gufeld; et al

Thinkers' Press, 2001

one of most interesting book about Fischer.

I have 4 or 5 books about Fischer, but this one is different. It shows Fischer, the person. Seven contributors recalled their personal contacts with Fischer. Their encounters were first-hand, so their stories are truer. There are no deep chess analyses in this book, however they are the important ...
  
  











  



  
A Legend on the Road: Bobby Fischer's 1964 Simultaneous Exhibition Tour1 review
John Donaldson

Russell Enterprises, 2005

Very enjoyable read for me . . .

This book is about Bobby Fischer's 1964 cross country trip in 1964, playing simuls against large crowds. Lots of newspaper clippings from the various cities, and personal stories from some of the contestants.

Bobby Fischer: Profile of a Prodigy (Revised Edition)17 reviews
Frank Brady

Dover Publications, 1989

A wide-eyed, breathless biography

+ Arid and Ironic

I bought the first edition of this book by mail order when I was about 16, and devoured it eagerly. In those days world-class chess was relentlessly dominated by the USSR, challenged mainly by other Eastern Europeans and the occasional American like Reshevsky, Evans and the Byrne brothers. Boris ...
